Amazing what the left has accomplished. Moved this country toward communism. Kissed the bearded faces of savages. Allowed Americans to be killed in Benghazi. Set the stage to raise taxes.
And put the blame on Republicans!

Not really a surprise. Obama has said practically every day that it’s the Republicans’ fault for being such obstructionists. Even though they have given him about 95% of what he wants. And the Republicans, with the exception of a few “extremists,” have been virtually silent in reply.

When I used to live in the NYC area, everyone thought that congress was corrupt. So they kept voting their corrupt, senior congresscritters back in, in order to be assured that they’d get their fair share of the pork and corruption.

I guess it still works the same way, with VERY few exceptions. Sarah Palin is one of the few who actually turned back federal pork going INTO Alaska while she was governor, explaining that such corruption could no longer be afforded. But you don’t see that very often.

Hit the gas and go over the fiscal cliff! The corrupt MSM will see to it that Republicans are blamed no matter what happens. Therefore, stand up and say we are giving Obama everything he wants! Hit the gas pedal and brace for impact.

This is what’s called “Primeing the pump”.
They are setting things up for the fall.
When it happens they can say “Early studies
indicate that the public blames Republicans
for the Fiscal cliff.”
The sad part is then the populace believes it.

Those who control the message, control the perception of reality. If BO was filmed raping a 10 YO girl and smoking crack in the Oval Office, the MSM would convince the majority of people that it was the GOP’s fault.

We need to devote our energies to dismantling the media or we will forever take the blame for everything that goes wrong.

Yep. You never hear Republicans explain why they support something. Conservatives understand why- but the ignorant public doesn't. Republicans have to make their case, and repeat it over and over until the low-information people finally hear it...

“Americans are so freakin stupid, they have no idea what the fiscal cliff is, or how it will affect them, but they know Republicans are to blame.”

ALL of my many in-laws fit into this category. They only read the NYTimes (if anything) and watch MSNBC. They get angry if you criticize Obama or Democrats and they blame EVERYTHING on Bush/Republicans.

Who cares who they blame now... who will they blame in two years when all of obamacare’s failures and costs will be evident to even brain dead rats? The republicans need to speak of returning to the Clinton Tax Rates and then ask that we also return to the Clinton Spending Levels... but they will not... because they are losers and failures all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares, blame both parties as our federal government has become insane. I'd rather see the total bust sooner than later as the fool's paradise Obama has created is against God's Word and Plan. My family are prepared to meet our Lord or to survive in the interim.

This is why the GOP MUST let the dems have their way. They MUST explain what will happen if the dem plan is followed then offer a counter plan the dems will not agree to...then let the dem plans get THEIR PLAN passed and let them become the owners of the cliff.

Any compromise will allow the democrats to have an out by blaming the GOP for not !"

“In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled CNN poll: More Americans would blame Republicans if country went off fiscal cliff, Qbert wrote:
Polls showed Congress had something like a 13% approval rating before the elections... and yet most representatives kept their seats.”

Gee I’m really surprized that CNN would run such a poll, I wonder what their true intention is ?. I’m really tired of the B/S the media keeps pulling off. Until they start getting challanged they’re going to keep this up

There's an abyss beyond the fiscal cliff, that's where they're heading, and I'd let 'em jump right into it!

The Obamaphone people have spoken! (Going from 39.5 hours/week to 29.5 hours minus the Obamacare tax seems like it would sting to me. But I didn't think voting for Obama was either a smart or a cool thing to do.)

If the GOP had brains and testicles- and it has neither- it would would issue a statement of its fiscal perspective,condemn Obama’s, then state it would neither support nor oppose him on purely fiscal issues and let the Democrats own his policies totally as the nation goes over the fiscal cliff. Its called tough love for the American voters.

Lets see. Obamacare (passed 100% by their party). Tax increases, only championed by their party.

And yet, I can't recall ever hearing Romney, or his people, making that a big argument. I realize it would have been harder for Romney to make that case because of Romneycare, but the GOP was almost silent on taxes during the campaign.

Listening to bozos like Saxby Chambliss talk, I wonder how many GOP-e Repubs truly understand basic tax policy and economics.

I went to a family event these prior three days. Talk about being totally depressed over the raging ignorance of adult Americans.

There is a reason why the JonStewart media willfully and with intent pounded George Bush day in and day out for nearly a dozen years. They might well have pictured him literally, as the acceptable image of the devil himself.

I heard that Romney was going to cut social security and he only cared about the ‘rich’ Republicans. Because the JonStewart media said that is what Romney said he was going to do.

Sadly, the majority of American adults are stuck on stupid, and the rest of US are going to have to ride this run away train right off the liberals tracks.

We need to devote our energies to dismantling the media or we will forever take the blame for everything that goes wrong.

Yup, the left controls the message. Everyone thought that the "new media" would force the dinosaur mainstream media and entertainment establishment to be more fair in their coverage - the reality is the exact opposite happened. The MSM went even further left since they had less conservatives watching them to even bother pretending to be balanced for. The old line left media (and liberal new media) see this is as war for the soul of the country. We aren't even hardly fighting. Why do we have rich donors that will pour hundreds of millions into Karl Rove's PAC's, when that money could better be spent gobbling up media? It's mystifying why the right never figures this out.

Hit the gas and go over the fiscal cliff! The corrupt MSM will see to it that Republicans are blamed no matter what happens. Therefore, stand up and say we are giving Obama everything he wants! Hit the gas pedal and brace for impact.

AMEN,AMEN,AMEN and AMEN. I'm tired of playing this same song over and over every year, for once let's enjoy the ride down. Would be great fun watching the panic of the O voters as well as the "I will not vote for Romney because crowd.......", yeah you showed us alrighty, lol.

"Polls showed Congress had something like a 13% approval rating before the elections... and yet most representatives kept their seats. "

The system is designed to protect incumbents. So those figures won't change.

Also Hoover continued to be blamed for the great depression until there was a recovery. Then Republicans got elected again. Bush will own the current recession until there is recovery. It is in Republican long term interests to hasten a recovery but believe their short term interests to be reelected is to make their designed locals happy.
